<h1>Visual Threshold Editor: Layout</h1>
<p>Conditional formatting allows you to format controls (text fields, images, 
 sections, and so on) in your reports and documents depending on attribute 
 or metric qualifications. This provides the flexibility to personalize 
 you reports and documents based on the returned data. For an introduction 
 to conditional formatting, see 
<a href="Thresholds.htm">About thresholds</a>.</p>
<p>The Visual Threshold Editor has the following features:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Condition</B></span>: Add 
 a new condition in the editor. Select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Apply</B></span> 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B><img src="images/apply.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="17px" height="17px" border="0" class="img_whs2"></B></span> to save the condition. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Remove All</B></span>: 
 Erase all changes made to the threshold condition. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Auto-Apply changes</B></span>: 
 Select the check box to automatically apply changes to the report or document 
 after you have finished updating the threshold. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Thresholds for</B></span>: 
 Select a metric on which to apply the conditional formatting. Only the 
 metrics displayed in the report or document will appear in the drop-down 
 list. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Type</B></span>: Select 
 the type of condition to use for the threshold. For example, if you want 
 to define Daily Revenue greater than $40,000, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Value 
 </B></span>from the drop-down list. This ensures that the threshold is based 
 on an actual value. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Based on</B></span>: Select 
 the metric on which the threshold condition is based. You can base the 
 threshold condition on the metric <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Itself 
 </B></span>or another metric in the report or document. Select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Apply</B></span> 
 <img src="images/apply.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="17px" height="17px" border="0" class="img_whs2">
